Amazing

Incredible real super reliable looks so cool and good control the brake and the accelerator are better than I thought and when you put the wheel in your tighten it, it’s really strong. I really would recommend it for a lot of driving games. Specially the crew 2!

Wouldn’t work on Xbox xs.

Not as simple set up as it claims. At least for me. Would not register to any games that it said it was compatible with. Looks great, unfortunately could not use and support was a hassle. I used my Pc to try and update still nothing. The wheel tester app is the only place the wheel would work. Unsure of what to do. Mine could of been defective but everything seem to work.

Next Level Racing

My Grandson uses it for online racing games, Xbox one x, Forsa 5, etc...and he absolutely loves it! We ordered it and approximately 3 days it was here. He took it out of the box and plugged it up and it was off to the races, literally!

Very Nice

If your looking for a fun sim-wheel & don’t want to get one of the really expensive ones but still want something reliable get this. It steers great & all the buttons pretty much have a function. Also like how you can manually shift gears in the game if it allows that option. Steering wheel feels great & so do the pedals. I have to put books or a block of wood for it to clamp to my desk but every desk is different. Also recommend putting a towel or something beneath or in front of the pedals because they do slide. But overall this is amazing & the way you plug it in is in the USB port. Real Ferrari Product as well! Overall insanely happy! Looks & feels high quality!

High build quality

Very good force feed back on the steering wheel.

Zero response delay.

Pedals have accurate tension.

Perfect for Forza Horizon 5.

Pedals broke after 1 day of regular usage

It broke almost instantly. I was playing F1 and using the break as you would expect, not especially hard, and the plastic on the pedal itself just snapped off. Piece of junk.

NOT WINDOWS FRIENDLY

Item title clearly states that it is Windows compatible. Technically it is, but only for X-Box supported games. Bought for my kid so he could rock Assetto Corsa. Super sad when we discovered that it doesn't work.

Sad kid, angry dad. Some clarity (and transparency) goes a long way.

Sending back.

Quality/durability is an issue

The base broke on the first day my son used this - it was a Christmas gift. I was in the room and he wasn’t abusing it. It looks like a pedal rod pushed through. It still works, but for how long? Not what I expected from this product.

Extremely disappointed! Wouldn’t turn on!

I bought this item “like new”, and will NEVER do that again. I’m so embarrassed that I gave this to my son for his birthday. It WOULD NOT turn on, in the back the wires were exposed, AND the rubber was missing on the back of one side and coming off on the other. How could anyone ever think this is like new is beyond me. I’m very upset and returning! What a waste of money, and now my son can not play with his birthday present.😖

BUYERS READ BEFORE PURCHASING

I love the automatic re-centering it’s great for drifting a bit of a downside is that if you were planing to play on gta v you can’t gta does not count the steering wheel as a controller and I love how all the buttons on the controller are able to use in game play also before buying try to have something to stop the pedals from moving while using them I just have my other foot holding it down overall Design is amazing 💯

Not as described. Pedals inoperable.

Bought used with "acceptable" grade with a scratch being on the wheel. I fully understood it's not gonna be perfect because of it being used. I plugged everything in and the pedals didn't work. After a short investigation I found the wire coming from the pedals was cut and the little fiber strand inside the cord was still attached which was why I didn't notice it from the start. They clearly don't test the used products as this would've been caught immediately. Typical quality issues from a high volume company. Not worth my time to return. I'll find a pedal set on eBay..... If the pedals worked and the cord wasn't cut I'd give 5 stars but being half of the assembly and they don't work you get one star. Had they tested it this mistake would've took less than 1 minute to find.

Low quality - save your money

I ordered this for my son to play racing games. Maybe had 40 hours of light use and it is broken. You can't turn left. I contacted Thrustmaster's support. Followed all of their instructions and sent requested information and video of the problem. They won't do anything. Poor products, poor support. I won't be buying Thrustmaster products in the future. Probably just a 75 cent part that needs to be replaced but it will end up in a landfill. I highly recommend avoiding Thrustmaster's junky products..

USB Hookup???

The steering wheel will not plug into the USB port on my Xbox One. I cant use it. Nothing I read said anything about buying an adaptor hookup. Is there an adaptor from Round to USB even available to purchase?

This Blows wasted 100$

I will never ever buy anything from this company again waste of my time and money It wouldn’t work the 2nd time playin with it then when i tryed to dissassemble it to see whats wrong 2 plastic garbage filled bolts kept spinning and spinning and spinning so I did whats best for this wheel and company I ripped it to pieces

James Wilson

Awesome

It works fantastic, the steering wheel stand is not included. I had one from my other steering wheel/peddles for the Xbox360. Just slapped these with it and have been playing it non-stop.

Great wheel. I also have the TX force feedback ...

Great wheel. I also have the TX force feedback model. I can tell you that the TX is in fact really cool, but don't despair if you cant afford that one, this spider wheel is very, very good. The 'bungee cord" system may sound strange or cheap, but it really works great. Sometimes I don't even want force feedback, and in Project Cars if you turn the feedback way down, it makes the TX wheel NOT return to center when you let go of the wheel, not good. So, sometimes I still use the spider. Yes, it's really fun to nail down good feedback setting in Project Cars with the TX wheel, but for less that $100 the spider is very, very good. Do not listen to the low star people, I do not know what they are expecting. In fact, as far as weight complaints about the spider, as in, it "feels like a cheap toy"....is you removed the back of the TX model, the heavier "dash" so to speak that houses all the feedback belts etc, the TX wheel itself I believe would weigh just the same as the Spider. As far as Project Cars, I mostly use the Aston Martin V12 Vantage G3, in case you ever get the TX wheel, here's the settings I use in case it helps. Be advised that at least with the TX I bought and at least with Project Cars, out of the box it felt strange....the factory feedback settings made the cars feel old, clunky, like the tires were full of rocks or that the steering column was broken, so, you really need to be patient and get good with all the settings in Project Cars, once I dialed in within the the range listed below, the TX was way better than originally, again, I have only tested these settings with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage G3. When I say "regular options" I am talking about where you press your start button and go to "options & help"...that is, the setting area that ISN'T that settings area when your in the pits, just that Options and Help area within the start button or the home pages.

Steering ratio 15.0:1.

Force Feedback: Master Scale 80.

All F & M Scales 160.00.

All F & M Smoothings 70.0.

Force Feedback Calibration in the Regular Options, Tire Force 51.

Put steering ratio to 25.5:1 IF in regular options the steering assistance is No, Driving Assists Allowed All and Yes to Antilock brakes/stability & traction control.

NOW, if in regular options the steering assistance is YES instead, still all assists yes and yes on all the Antilock brakes/stability & traction control, then just put all Scales up to 190.00.

This is all with the steering sensitivity in Reg Options at 70

NEVER CHANGE DEAD ZONE FROM ZERO IT SUCKS.

Lastly, in regular options, taking the steering sensitivity from 70 up to 100 seems to tighten up that slack sensitivity at the wheels center/or deadzone.

Also, 180 Scales with 60 Smooths is good too

If you prefer a little more feedback from bumps in the road, with any set up above, just i DECREASE all four of your All F & M Smoothings.

Keep in mind that, in my opinion, the lower you put the Smoothings the more of what I call a "belt grind" effect happens. I mean that the belts inside the TX unit will give more feedback in a sense, but it can feel , to me, more like just a grinding belt/broken steering column effect...not really translating as road bumps, so just test it of course. for me 50 or 60 on the Smoothings is the threshold to keep the bumps still feeling like bumps and not just belt grind.

I will update this post with how those settings compare to what I listed above, I am assuming they will be better.

Lastly, I use the TX with the Playseat Challenge. Google that if your not familiar of course, its a really good seat for regular home use. It folds up which is the main point. Its not your top of the line deal, but for space I dont think it gets better, and, its still very, very comfortable. For $250 its a very fair price. One issue I had was the straps your elbows rest on were bugging the skin at me elbows...just go to Home Depot plumbing area, get either type of one inch pipe insulation...they have a grey type which has a more plastic feel to it, and they have a black type that is smoother, looks and feels more like rubber...I tried both, its personal preference whichever you like. The more rubber type has this tape you can peel off to stick one side to the other and close the factory split...leave this tape on if you get the rubber type foam, you'll need to remove the foam from the chair after each use as to allow the chair to fold up again. Cut your foam at about 15" or 17"...whatever works best with what angle you have your seat adjusted to...open the factory split and wrap the foam around the two straps where your arms rest at then seated in the chair. Works great. These are sold in singles at Home Depot, you don't have to buy the multi-packs. You can cut your same 1 inch foam longways with the factory split, taking it's diameter down as to better fit the pipe diameter where your knees rest, get some velcro straps, and make knee padding here. See before and after pics below.
